Discussion of Regulations
The Wilmington Family YMCA submitted an application to hold the
swim portion of the 17th Annual Wilmington Family YMCA--Physicians
Health Plan Triathlon at Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina. This swim
portion of the triathlon will consist of approximately 700 swimmers
racing in a section of the Wrightsville Channel. The regulations in 33
CFR 100.513 govern the activities of the swim portion of the triathlon
on Wrightsville Channel between Wrightsville Channel Daybeacon 18 (LLNR
28050) and Wrightsville Channel Daybeacon 23 (LLNR 28065). Because the
swim portion of the triathlon is an event of the type contemplated by
these regulations, the safety of the participants will be enhanced by
the implementation of the special local regulations. The waterway will
be closed from 6 a.m. to 9:45 a.m., September 10, 1995, for the event.
Since the waterway will not be closed for an extended period,
commercial traffic should not be severely disrupted.
Dated: April 14, 1995.
W.J. Ecker,
Rear Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard, Commander, Fifth Coast Guard District.
